Anyway i just read an article on Herald Sun website...here is an extract below;

MARK Webber has reacted angrily to suggestions he needs to find more speed to achieve success in Formula One.

The Australian made a high-profile switch from Jaguar to Williams this season, but has failed to make a predicted breakthrough.
"I'm doing absolutely everything I can," Webber told the Herald Sun from Britain.

"It (the car) is not at the level of some of the other teams. It's not at the level we want to be at.

"We can't race Renault or McLaren, and now there are a few extra boys as well."

Full article

what idiot was stupid enough to put that to Webber, and think he would live????

Good to see these boys up near the pointy end again. What the hell happened to Webbers strategy? Even I could tell he was going to lose to Heidfeld.

and thats not the first time that Williams have stuffed MW's strategy this year....i think he should start asking some tough questions to the boys responsible.

he did everything that could have been expected in the race but got screwed by his team.....

Just in case you not sure, I think I'm almost as ropable as MW!!!

I was just as angry when I saw hiedfeld go in the pits before Webber. I could have done a better job with strategy than that after eight bourbons!

what the hell were they thinking pitting NH first???

did they think alonso was just going to give up 2nd to MW and let him have a clear lap to keep NH behind him. You didn't need to be Einstein to work out that however pitted first was going to get a lap with some clear air & remain in front.

Mark needs to be asking some very tough questions of Sam Michael & the boys!!!!

The team should make a public apology to him...It was a disgrace!!!!

And bloody stupid, Webber was leading Nick in the points going into the race.
Judging by Webber's body language I think I think he had already started asking some tough questions, with more to come. I think sams ears would still be sore

Ok, perhaps the Williams team did stuff up but they may have not. Heidfeld was stuffed pitting behind Webber at the first stop!

Webber also stuffed up his start again losing two place, Heidfeld didn't so the starting problem shouldn't be purely be blamed at the car.

And Heidfeld's pass on Alonso was much cleaner than Webbers too

Look, I would have liked Webber to be second but I am just putting a neutral view on this.

In the end he should have enjoyed his best ever finish. He may not have another one in a while. BAR weren't there, Renault will sort out their tyres and even Ferrari will be strong at some races.

Enjoy the moment
